Hi,
I'm using a 4GB card in my Qtek S200. Will it take the new 8GB cards?
Acording to this site...
http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=6609
...the device needs "SD 2.0 (SDHC) specification " !?!
Do we have this?
Will we need a patch?
Will it be POSSIBLE to install a patch?
Or will we only sit and watch as owners of newer devices pass by, holding vast amounts of video and music?
Not to mention that having "SD 2.0" is a ticket to a nirvanic future of having up to 2TB (2048GB) of storage space...
Fingers crossed, I wait for reports from fellow Prophet owners...

They won't work on any current devices as the hardware needs to be different to recognise these high capacity cards.
Yes, you won't get any - while the new SDHC format is essentially just FAT32 - it's a proprietary FAT32 implementation that is INCOMPATIBLE with existing SD card readers (despite the fact that it's using the exact same slot). WTG SD-alliance for pulling a Sony.
Maybe drivers can be written, but I wouldn't hold my breath. The driver spec for SD-type cards is not open - it's a membership only thing that's simply just cheaper than Sony's Memory Stick stuff. Even Linux only has rudimentary support.

When I bought my 4gb SD card I had some readers that it worked with and others bombed out. So you are saying the the new 8gb SD has yet another fat32 formatting standard that won't work with ANY current devices or readers?
That is apparently the case.
well here's a couple of points for the optemists
1, we weren't sposed to have A2DP and we got it, if the prophet already accepts 4gb cards and fat32, then perhaps we could get the SDHC cards and possibily format them from this "SDHC" thing with it's added "features" (eg content protection infestation), down to standard fat32 and get the 8GB capacity that way, and forgoing the added "features"
2, I already use a 4GB card, so what about the possibility of partitioning an 8GB card into 2 4GB cards, just an idea.
3, possibly it's just a driver issue.
looks like a wait and see thing.
Many models of casio digital cameras only need new firmware to use sdhc cards. I belive we just need a new rom to enable sdhc.
I hope this can be enabled somehow. 8gb would be great!
The problem though is companies like HTC and iMate don't seem to care about supporting older hardware, and in their eyes the Prophet is older. They are planning on releasing 15 new devices next year, and they probably will add the firmware on those and use it as a selling tool to get you to upgrade. It’s the WM5 scenario all over again.
Hopefully someone smart will be able to lift the necessary details from a device that has it onto devices that do not.
When I had a sony P900 it would only accept 128MB memory stick duo. Everyone said it was a hardware issue. After about a month I flashed it to P910i firmware and then it supported Memory stick duo PRO (alot higher capacity). I am sure this is a software issue. What I'm not sure is whether we will get the drivers...
I was told by Leaf Wireless, the distributors of HTC in SA and Africa that the Hermes will support a 4gb micro card(Trans Flash).
I am not sure if this has been posted before, but there seemed to be speculation about this in the past on some threads.
Can anyone who has actually tried this confirm.
I am not sure if the new ROM's available have anything to do with this or not.
I believe 4GB requires FAT32 format. Try formatting a 1 or 2GB with FAT32 and see if it operates.
The Hermes can definately handle FAT 32 formated cards. I have flashed my Hermes using a 1GB micro SD card formated to FAT 32 several times with no problems. My 2GB card that I keep in the phone is also formated to FAT 32.
There have been differing reports concerning whether the 4GB SDHC format is supported or not. What we do know is this: SDHC in the registry doesn't stand for SD High Capacity.
speed compare - FAT16 vs. FAT32
I have 512MB Kingston, I tryed to use FAT16 and also FAT32 and benchmark speed on this card - FAT32 was faster, but only at some sizes of files. this results is for FAT32, tomorrow, when I am back to my PC I can format card to FAT16 and update this post with new images. otherwise, for me is 512MB enough. I have mp3 creative zen player, and I dont need use TyTN as video/mp3 player, only as storage for my documents, and installation files, so question if 4GB card work is for only matter of interest.
but there is one important thing. If you using card bigger than 512MB, it is better to use FAT32, coz if you dont you waste your space (it is known problem from PC disks). if someone have a bigger card, than 512MB try to format to FAT16, use pocket mechanic Slack Analysis function and you can see how much space is not used. on my card at this time is on FAT32 only 1,60MB (0,59%). on FAT16 is much more.
all results of benchmark is in archive. tomorrow I will update this post for results on FAT16, and also Slack analysis report.
.:update:.
rest of benchmark, tested FAT16, slack for current cluster size (8kB) is 1.10 % which is 3,40MB instead of 1,60MB for FAT32. This results is only for me, you can have different results, I have used only 50% of capacity.
Did we determine that someone ACTUALLY has a 4gb MicroSD card and IS using it formatted in some way (FAT16/FAT32)?
If we EVER get some of the SDHC micro cards in at work then i will (cough cough) sacrifice one for the xda team, but i predict it will be a LONG time before they are even ordered (no demand for them as of yet)

How can there not be a demand? My 2GB one is stuffed full!
Zilch.
The retailer i work for (just a dead end weekend job...im an engineer student in uni) doesnt sell to people as technically minded as us, most people use the sd micro cards for mediocre phones like the Moto-razr etc... Its a home retailer primarily, they have only just started selling the 2gb versions.

So? Even your average iPod user knows you can stuff twice as many MP3s onto a 4GB card as you can with a 2GB one. Surely?
Zilch.
Been a couple of months now.
Anyone tried and succeeded or failed with a 4Gb MicroSD in the Hermes?
SOOOOOOON!
Not here yet, but right around the corner. These are SD NOT SDHC. Should work fine. I will post results when mine arrives.
http://www.jr.com/JRProductPage.process?Product=4159987
If someone can actually get the 4gb card working then i think we have some bright prospects to actually see higher capacities[8gb+] working since they all use the sdhc format. Although i still dont know why the htc peepz didnt put a rubber cover [or even a plastic one for that matter] on the sd slot. Currently there is just soo much potential for dust,grime and moisture to get in there!
I do understand the point that <b>mrvanx </b> is making. The majority of the mobile community today are more than happy with their 1gb cards...and when there is no significant demand...then there is no motif for a [reasonably priced] supply!
I emailed HTC Europe about this and I got a reply that the Hermes is able to work with SDHC Cards, but HTC Europe only advises card up to 2 gig. So....we still don't know anything.....
4Gb SDHC seems not to work
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308679&page=2&highlight=4gb+micro+sd
Anyone can confirm this? Or maybe someone got it working?
In my area, 4Gb micro SDHC is not even available in shops.
Anyone knows, if there will be 4Gb micro SD (without HC) available?

Confusion
Some people here seem to be talking about SDHC and other SD cards. From what I understand MicroSDHC wont work and no one has tried a 4Gb MicroSD card yet.
If you're in the UK it looks like 4Gb MicroSD cards are now available:

If i could redirect you guys to THIS POST.........anyone confirm my thinking on this?
I have a 4gb microSDHC card (bought it from eBay) and it definitely does NOT work in my TyTN.

Remember dude, there has been no such update or even attempt at one yet. You may be quite valuable for testing some patches if you keep hold of it.
ok guys... some info...
There are SDHC drivers for Windows Mobile 5 & 6, they are not included in your ROM's at the moment.
The Hermes USB hardware (Samsung 2440) 'DOES' theoretically support SDHC cards, but there is no way of telling if the firmware on the controller supports it.
If there is a hardware programmer out there that can help i can sacrifice a device...
Hey guys,
Whats the largest micro sd I can place in my Leo... Currently have an 8 GB in there but am quickly filling it since having movies / music on it like no tomorrow!!
Any help would be great, thanks dudes.
You didn't find the answer anywhere on the net? In that case, they can hold a max of 128GB.

I've got a 16GB in mine and it works perfectly. I'll get a 32GB but want the price to drop before I do. They're still quite pricey.
16GB is suiting me fine. I have a seperate 8GB one for putting movies and stuff on. It just means I have to have CorePlayer installed on the device so I can switch cards and still play movies.
Edit:
Ignore the above comment by lude219. 128GB cards won't be available until next year at the earliest. 32GB is currently the largest on the market. There will be 64GB (and possibly 48GB) soon, but not yet.
Thank you johncmolyneux, I think I might wait a bit and get a 32gb just to be sure!
Thanks for your help dude.
*Any mods may now close this thread as I have had a helpful answer.*

can't find any 32gb micro sds on amazon or ebay? only normal sized SDHC cards.
Samsung expect their 32GB to be in the market by February according to their recent announcement, I expect Sandisk will want to be released for sale by then also.
Class 6 cards are available from non-Sandisk manufacturers by the way.
im guessing the will charge a ridculous amount...probs about £50 or some ****
16 Gb is the maximum today.
There is NO 32 gb on the market at this time, but expected.

is that because of hardware or software? i had an old HTC Excalibur that ran winmo 5.0 back in the day. got a 8 gig card that wouldn't read in it until i flashed it to winmo 6.5. after that, it read the card no problem. funny thing is the 'fine folks' over at T-Mobile assured me that nothing over 4GB would ever work in my phone.
so i wonder, with our devices being able to run winmo, android, different variations of linux, etc... could it be just a software problem?
The HTC HD2 can only hold up to a 32 gig 2.0 Micro SD card. Click the link for proof, notice the "Expansion" in the spec list, oh yeah this is straight from HTC.

interesting info
so i started surfing around, looking for more info on this topic. i found a thread from another forum citing some interesting conversation regarding the same issue. to quote from page 5 of that forum...
"What the SD 4.0 specification will add is another pin to SDXC cards which will enable the higher read/write speeds. The rest of the pins will still be present and will still act exactly like they used to. So SDXC cards will always be compatible with SDHC readers, you just won't be able to read/write from them at 300mbit/s. And that's where a firmware update can't change things; no firmware update will allow the camera to use an SDXC card at its full, currently-non-existent future speed because that extra pin interface won't be present.
'But a firmware update CAN add support for exFAT, so all the other benefits of SDXC can in fact be added to our cameras through a firmware update. These benefits include higher capacities, larger maximum file size, and faster file deleting (because that's an exFAT feature, not an SDXC feature).
'It should be noted that the higher capacities have nothing to do with exFAT. FAT32 can have volumes up to 2 TB in size. The 32GB limit on SDHC cards was artificially imposed by the SD 2.0 specification, and has now been lifted with SD 3.0. However, the larger maximum file size IS a benefit of exFAT, because files used to be limited to 4 GB on FAT32."
so i gotta think this will also apply to any other device that can physically run an SDHC card.
let the debate begin

Hmmmm interesting conversation there, I read all six pages by the way. The one guy seemed to be pretty sure of himself. But from what he said if you use a SDXC card that uses extFAT in a decice that does not support extFAT. It will reformat it with Fat 32 making it a regular SDHC card without the extra advantage of the higher speeds that a SDXC reader that does support extFAT can use.
right, that's what i got out of it too. but the big bonus there is that even with the reformat, the space on that card is still accessible, be it 'just' sdhc speeds. that's ok though, cuz that's what we're used to. i'd really like some of the xda developers to take a look at this and see what they can do.
on a somewhat related note, there's a program i use on my laptop called 'macdrive' which allows me to view previously unrecognized files and partitions which windows doesn't see naturally. this allows me to tri-boot (linux, mac, and windows) and modify each of those partitions from any one of the systems.
point here, is that even if there is initially a problem reading the data on a sdxc card, it seems that problem is only with the software not hardware and therefore can be modified.
if i could program i'd start experimenting myself.

This is very true, and I am in the same boot as you. I wish I had the dev knowledge and skills to start working on something for this, or a real dev could get there hands on this and see what is possible. I guess the only true way to put this to the test is for someone to get there hands on one of these beast of a SD card (64 to 128 gig what ) and stick it in the HD2 to see what it does.
Hi
Please I am looking for a 1Tb microsd.
Do you know any link where you can buy it?
What price is it?
Thank you
They sell them on amazon
Just make sure you DON'T buy the Hauwei 1Tb SD card... There are a few places advertising these and they are fakes as Hauwei don't make SD cards..... You will loose money and your data...

Wondering, just out of curiosity, what would be the reason for using a 1TB microSD in the phone.
We know that SD cards do fail sometimes and that is my biggest argument against spending $440(10/26/19) on that card and possibly losing at once an enormous amount of accumulated files.
Sandisk 1TB Extreme microSD......................................$440
Sandisk 512GB...........................$147....................x2 = $294(1TB)
Sandisk 256GB...........................$50.5...................x4 = $202(1TB)
Sandisk 128GB...........................$24......................x8 = $192(1TB)
The benefits of getting smaller SD cards: over 50% savings and less pain in the neck if the card goes bad.
I think the same, although it is good to feel that you will not run out of space, the 512gb and 1tb are quite expensive, this device already has a generous built in storage capacity, for peace of mind I got a 128gb card, mainly for music, apk files, some downloads, wallpapers, etc.
apps and important things go directly to the device storage, which in turn from time to time go to a HDD and cloud storage
The trouble with the smaller cards is they aren't hot swappable and also you need to eject the sim as well as the sd card to swap.
I personally don't carry a sim eject tool around with me as they are so easy to lose...
The point of having the sd card over just the internal storage is if Android, like most OSes, decides to break and needs a factory reset you can loose all your data/pictures/videos/songs.
Cloud storage is an option but I do know people who WILL NOT use the cloud to store these things and even if you do, it is a hassle to retrieve, especially if your plan is light on the data....
The larger sd cards are convenient, and lets be honest, that's why we have mobile phones... No need to find a public phone and have your conversation eavesdropped, and the time spent to find the phone box and wait to use.
Unfortunately, convenience costs $$$....
I actually have both: a decent sized microSD(256GB), and a 256GB flash drive(that I connect via usbC to usbC 8" extension).
Im lucky enough to have a microcenter in my area, and their 256GB cards are cheap(34 dollars normally, and even cheaper when on sale), and reliable. So, you don't have to spend a ton, unless you simply want to. And I like the external extension simply because it allowed me take transfer large files on a moment's notice, to and from my phone and pc..
I don't care for cloud storage, and never really have, since they always start you worth one amount, and change it up on you(shrink iit) over time.. That, and I just don't trust it..

Thankfully there is OTG, not “swappable” but it makes the phone files easily transferable, that small pocket-size portable 2TB SSD costs about $80 or you can use a microSD dongle for the same purpose, I know it's a personal preference but the 1TB micro SD seem just too much $$$...like, half what the phone is worth itself and it's always good to have less expensive options.

I agree, the more options for storage the better... Hopefully Samsung, in their infinite wisdom, don't see fit to remove the SD storage off their future range of phones like they did with the Note 10 and the Fold...
Terrible decision...
I'm saying this as I restore stuff from my SD Card and online storage after a factory reset... It's such a pain my whole network goes so slow while downloading the Gigabytes of data I need to restore....

To avoid incompatibility with Samsung the drive must be formatted to exFat(stock will be NTFS most likely)
The drive has a decent speed, I mean much faster then any microSD - here you can see it on USB 3.0 PC bus:

Might need to reformat exFat, Try and see if NTFS registers but I've had limited success with that usually ending up having to run 3rd party apps to use NTFS formatted drives...

Why did you order that version?
I might get one of these, as it seems to be the most versatile and powerful handheld gaming system you can buy. The million dollar question is whether you'll be able to emulate Switch games at some point.
I would've gotten the 64GB version, but since I don't know if the storage can be user-upgraded (and it looks like it can't be), and the 256GB is both bigger and faster, I decided on that.
$130 is a lot for 192GB and a faster interface, but oh well.
I'm wondering if this can be opened and replaced with another M.2 storage option? I could definitely see installing a 1TB stick. Valve has said these should be developer friendly, so let's hope for some serious hackability.

I might get one of these, as it seems to be the most versatile and powerful handheld gaming system you can buy. The million dollar question is whether you'll be able to emulate Switch games at some point.

Maybe it will get Yuzu support? https://github.com/yuzu-emu/yuzu/

if it's expandable, mine gets a 2TB drive
btw reserved the 512GB because of the glass
Got 256GB mainly because running an OS on emmc storage is not great for the chips health. I will be buying a 512GB micro sd card for mostly emulation isos and GTA 5. The internal storage I will use for smaller online games to load in faster lol

it can BUT you must use a 2230 sized ssd and it is kind of buried and it has tight tolerances i would not be shocked if 512gb is the biggest that fits right now and we will need to wait for single chip 1 and 2 tb units to exist...
I got the 256 version because of the anti glare screen. You are paying for something you'll not use. Once you put a protector it will become glossy, and putting a matte protector on top of the original mate is dumb. I will upgrade my Deck to 1 gb anyway.
Got 64gb version and upgraded to 512gb ssd (ebay, used). Works great.

Why did you order that version?

there are three versions of the Steam Deck available for pre-order: the 64GB eMMC model, the 256GB NVMe SSD model, and the 512GB NVMe SSD model. Each version comes with different storage capacities and prices.
